Larry's Recommended Mystery Collection

We have seen quite a few of these films now.
Many of them are well worth the price on their own.
We saw "Gaslight" the other night. It is a favourite of mine
and is just so superior to the glossy MGM remake.
"The Bat" - I enjoyed the print was so crisp and again it
was a very superior thriller.
"DOA" - most people know this one and Herb and I watched
this one afternoon. Herb was rivetted (he doesn't watch many
old movies). I personally think it is one of the top 10 thrillers
ever made.
"Bulldog Drummond Escapes" - I think this is one of the best
of the Drummond films. Heather Angel is definately not a wilting
heroine - she more than holds her own. Ray Milland , I think makes
a better Drummond than John Howard (in my opinion).
"Shadows on the Stairs" was okay - the blurb on the pack talked
about the "creatively twisted ending" - I don't know about that - I
was a bit disappointed. Still Heather Angel was in it and she is
fast becoming a favourite.
"The Mandarin Mystery" was okay as well - Eddie Quillan played
Ellery Queen and Charlotte Henry (from 1933s "Alice in Wonderland")
was the girl.
"Blake of Scotland Yard" was the one I least liked but 1 out of 6 is
not bad.
"The Limping Man", "Fear in the Night" and "A Shriek in the Night"
are the ones I am really looking forward to.

That one was quite a farce, wasn't it?! I think I even posted a thread about it! Totally out of this world! ;D

Diane, I am glad you finally got them and obviously you didn't have a difficult time obtaining them. :thumbsup:

Ordering them wasn't a problem - I also bought "Dark Crimes 50 Movie Pack" (even tc
would like these - they are mostly very old crime movies and there is also a few Studio
One TV shows as well). They were delivered promptly too. The problem we thought we
would have is the code. Every country has a different code number but we thought we
would just buy another DVD. Well our old DVD that we bought last year for $30 showed
them perfectly so we were pretty amazed.
